You ever have some topic that never, ever crosses your mind, but then it comes up once and suddenly it's EVERYWHERE you go?
I've never thought twice about quilts. My mom quilted a bit when I was really little, but stopped years and years ago. I've never quilted in my life. But then I got two AWESOME quilts from Kanalah here and then there was this church party where they decorated with some really amazing quilts, which I admired a lot, and now suddenly I find myself sewing a quilt top, for the very first time in my life.
It's for this charity thing that my church is doing, they're going to be donated to various shelters and children's programs and things. I'm not doing the quilting part, just sewing the blocks together for the top, and that bit's dead easy, since it's just squares. (I've done that before with swatch pillows, even!) I can't even picture doing anything more complicated than squares, honestly. This is enough work as it is! The church youth program will be tying them next week, apparently, and then somebody else will finish the edges.
